There have already been law enforcement busts of Hezbollah operations in Los Angeles, but these have been the usual criminal schemes ranging from smuggling cigarettes to drugs and counterfeit products that the terrorist group uses to fund its operations.

For example…

A seemingly small-time drug ring busted this week in Los Angeles was actually targeted for funding the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. Prosecutors left out the terror tie when they announced Tuesday that federal agents and local cops had arrested a dozen people for allegedly peddling cocaine and counterfeit clothing in Bell, Calif. But several sources familiar with the investigation said the predominantly Arab-American gang was believed to have smuggled its crime cash to the Iranian-backed terror group.

As we have already seen in Asia, Iran’s criminal empire can quickly be retrofitted to carry out terrorist attacks. The Iranian terrorist attacks in Asia were not very competent, but there is no doubt that its operatives in L.A. have been scoping out the Israeli consulate and its employees.

And some of them have probably been studying their bomb manuals in between smuggling their cigarettes and peddling their heroin.

I wonder what he plans on doing about them.
If they are active then they must be at least partially identifiable.

They can't say much because of the kind of attacks on the NYPD for profiling Muslims. The LAPD may be next.

If Israel attacks Iran I would be willing to bet that you will see some kind of terrorism in the US from Hezbollah with Iran pulling the strings. There is good reason to follow them and if war breaks out arrest them for any little reason & get them off the street. Thats if they come peacefully which I doubt.
